There are many reasons a pregnant woman can be put on bed rest. Bed rest can be temporary or a permanent thing during pregnancy.
During my first pregnancy, I had a placental abruption with preterm labor at twenty five and a half weeks that put me on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy.
I was able to stay on bed rest for the majority of the thirteen weeks in the comfort of my own home.
However, we did have a few hospital stays where they discussed having to keep me in the hospital for the remainder of the pregnancy if they couldn’t get my symptoms under control.
I was extremely fortunate that this happened during my first pregnancy. I didn’t have to care for another child or anything else but myself.
If I would have been put on bed rest during my second pregnancy, it would have been a lot more stressful and complicated, but, I’m sure with my family support system, we would have made it work.
As I mentioned before, there are many reasons and lengths for bed rest during pregnancy.
So, no matter how long you’re on bed rest for, you’re going to need a list of activities to keep yourself occupied.

With my mother’s birthday coming up in less than a week, I wanted to make sure Caroline created the cutest finger painting craft as part of her birthday present for Gigi.
Gigi watches Caroline while mommy and daddy go to work. We are so thankful for her and thankful for the bond they get to make!
When she gets older, she can make a card or another, more in depth craft, but for now, this finger painting craft was perfect for her.

I remember my first pregnancy, as the end approached, I found myself just as nervous about learning how to breastfeed as I was for the actual delivery of our daughter.
I only wish I could have found this awesome course from Milkology, about learning how to breastfeed successfully back then.
